Trouble with hyperlink to webpage

[EddyLLC]

I'm trying to put a link to a web page on a form in Access2003. When I click the link I get the error Unable to Open. No Program is registered to open this file"

I've never done this before, can somebody give me a clue?

In what manner are you putting the link on your form?

I tried two different ways. I first created a command button and put the web page or URL in the Hyperlink Address field of the command buttons properties. I then tried the wizard by going to Insert>Hyperlink and putting the URL in the Address field of the Insert Hyperlink box.

Thanks for the reply by the way.

What browser are you using? I have Internet Explorer and both methods you mention work fine.

only a suggestion : you can try it with a little piece of code..

Application.FollowHyperlink [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mylink.com[/URL][/com]
It should be activated with the event "onclick" on the button.

regards.

Application.FollowHyperlink [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mylink.com[/URL]

type mismatch ofcourse

I use Mozilla Firefox. I tried setting the default browser as Windows Internet Explorer and it worked fine. I wonder what I have to register to get the Mozilla to work?

Access and IE are Microsoft products. Firefox is not.

Just a guess, but I'd try putting the Firfox complete path in front of the URL.

Something like...

Application.FollowHyperlink [firefox path] url
